Pastor Jabin Chavez
Conversation Starters
Pastor Jabin talked about visiting Las Vegas. What is your favorite place you’ve visited?
“God doesn’t use perfect people because they don’t exist.” Name a time when you messed up in a way that was funny or embarrassing?
This week, how can you be a blessing to those around you?
Review
Ask eGroup members to share their favorite points from the message, what spoke to them, a phrase or moment they related to the most, or questions they have. If members have a hard time recalling the message, talk through your notes and share your favorite points.
Make It Personal
Pastor Jabin said that we’re all gifted and talented with abilities. What gifts and talents has God given you? If your group has been meeting for a while, have the group share about the gifts they see in each other.
“Where there is clarity, faith is not required.” What is uncertain in your life right now that requires your faith?
Abraham had “little g” gods he went to in different circumstances.
What “little g” gods have you been settling for (this could be the god of approval, the god of fear, the god of acceptance, etc)?
What is a practical way you can turn from your “little g” gods, and seek YAHWEH as the God of each circumstance you face?
Read Genesis 12:1. Is it difficult for you to leave your comfort zone?
Share a time you left something familiar behind. Looking back, how did God move through that situation?
Pastor Jabin challenged us to MAKE A MOVE. Looking ahead, what move are you planning to make to move forward in your faith (i.e. volunteering, stepping up to lead a group, giving, getting baptized, etc)?
Pastor Jabin said, “You can have control or you can have faith, but you can’t have both.” What steps are you taking in your life to give God control? What steps can you start taking today?
Pastor Jabin talked about how God changed both Abraham and himself, saying “I am not who I was.” How has God changed your life?
Act On It
We serve a God who speaks to us. He can tell us what we need to do, but it is up to us to take action. Pastor Jabin challenged us all to MAKE A MOVE. What move are you planning to make? Write it down and take time to do it this week. If you feel like you haven’t heard anything from God, schedule out a time in your week to sit down and listen for Him.

May we let go of the control of our lives and lean into trusting You and Your plan. We thank You for who You are! Amen
